A review by emeelee
Jack (Not Jackie) by Holly Hatam, Erica Silverman

4.0

Story about a young transboy from the point of view of his big sister, who must learn that she has brother instead of sister. Really sweet story, that shows supportive parents and demonstrates that even young children know themselves better than anyone else. Jack's sister Susu doesn't understand why "Jackie" doesn't like the same things she does and why he's always doing "boy things" instead. But Susu soon learns that even though Jack isn't her sister, he's still her family.

There is misgendering involved, but it's addressed and corrected within the course of the book. The story does lean a little heavy on binary gender roles, (i.e. Susu is a girl because she likes "girly" stuff, and we know Jack's a boy because he likes "boyish" stuff), but it's understandable in a book for young kids meant to introduce them to the topic of being transgender. There's some info for parents at the back of the book about how to talk to kids on this topic.

Here's a review by a trans person.
